So I made the mistake of buying ToTK using the vouchers so now I have another voucher burning a hole in my pocket. Making the relatively safe assumption that ToTK is the last big game on this thing (Pikmin 4 sort of interests me but I never clicked with 3) I figure I am limited to the list as it exists now. The problem is there are a lot of games on that list that I want a lot!

Here's my shortlist:
Fire Emblem Engage
Metroid Dread
Skyward Sword
Hyrule Warriors AoC
Link's Awakening
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Hyrule Warriors DE

Does anyone have any specific things to warn me off? I think AoC has some pretty hefty performance problems.

The last FE I played was Awakening? It was on DS I think and I think it had Lucina in? I liked it but back then I never stuck with a game (some things never change, I'll finish XC3 one day I promise...).

I have never finished a metroid or any metroidvania for that matter so Dread is somewhat tempting as a supposedly more accessible entry in the series?

Link's Awakening was my favourite Zelda until BoTW but I also really loved Skyward Sword but am a lefty so struggled to actually play the game back in the day.

Warriors games just kind of look like a good time? Are they like EDF at all I just want a game where I kill hundreds of things.

These are my notes and my request, please help me.
That's a good list but the vouchers are good for a year and I am betting there will be a game out of nowhere you don't expect.

Also bought a voucher and I'm holding onto it until either something new comes along I really want or I've finished TotK.

It does not exactly take a lot to predict "Big beefy green-skinned guy with red hair and a sword" based off all his previous versions.

A real hellraiser


Playing through FFV and almost to the end, did anyone else notice a bunch of rooms in this game are taken directly from other games?

Like this one place with the only five dwarves in the game, thisnroom is the exact shape of the tunnel the one dwarf is digging in ff1, and this one screen in North Mountain is the exact shape of the screen you meet Tellah on at My Ordeals.

It's not uncommon. Generally unless you get really really blunt with it you can reuse designs or layouts and nobody will really notice.

BotW Link is insanely strong. Dude is running up mountains in -60+F weather. He can run for up to 20 minutes straight in game time and then recover in less than 5. He also has stasis. :v:

speedrun link is literally canon at this point. using trees to launch himself 100 miles away and clipping through walls because activating shrines normally is too slow. same with being a complete menace by showing up to towns and smashing all the pots. insane.

From Ocarina up until BOTW Link had a more consistent design than Ganondorf. Which is kinda weird once you remember that Link is the one reincarnating, Ganondorf is the same person and keeps getting sealed away each time.

He was more barrel-shaped in WW but otherwise they're all in basically the same basic design in different art styles/aesthetic styles and even in WW it's largely an aesthetic thing. Hell he even looks like that in Hyrule Warriors.



The only thing that really shifts is his hair length and clothing.

I'm just a normal, functioning member of the human race, and there's no way anyone can prove otherwise.
I bought HWDE forever ago and just never played it. I did play Age of Calamity and it was ok, but not much more

A couple hours into HWDE and I'm blown away by how much better it is! The music, the gameplay loops, the feel, even the cutscene direction... it is SO much better. I was not expecting this! I'll never chip away even 10% of its content but I'm regretful it's taken me this long to play it

Which is more than Link's design has changed since he became a blonde, right up until they changed his shirt from green to blue and took his stocking cap away.

If you ask two artists to make a redesign of the same character, the results are going to look similar to each other. Nobody in this thread is really doing it but the "Nintendo plagiarized X fanart" going around is stupid.

If you look at the popularity of Zelda as a series and how many fan artists have interpreted its characters over the years, it would probably take a major redesign of the characters to have them not look similar to some fanwork's depiction of them.

Man it's surprising despite how iconic he is, Ganondorf has only been in 4 mainline games.
